TUTORIAL B: Advanced Test Design Technique - Extension to Noun and Verb Technique, (Limited to 30 participants) Vipul Kocher - President Indian Testing Board
This tutorial presents an Extension of Noun and Verb Technique.
Most of the structured test design techniques are useful when detailed requirements are available. Even with detailed requirements, the existing test design techniques leave many holes some of which are covered by ad-hoc or exploratory testing and other experience based techniques.
Extension to noun and verb technique can help create test cases even when requirements are sketchy. This technique can help create test cases of varying complexity including many test cases which no existing test design technique would have covered. The technique allows creation of scenario based tests as well as individual feature/field validation tests.
The technique has successfully been used on various projects with great results.
